The home life of the English seems to me to be about as perfect as anything can be.

Everything moves like clockwork.

I was impressed, too, with the deference that the servants show to their "masters" and "mistresses,"-- terms which I suppose would not be tolerated in America.
The English servant expects, as a rule, to be nothing but a servant, and so he perfects himself in the art to a degree that no class of servants in America has yet reached.

In our country the servant expects to become, in a few years, a "master" himself.

Which system is preferable?
I will not venture an answer.
Another thing that impressed itself upon me throughout England was the high regard that all classes have for law and order, and the ease and thoroughness with which everything is done.
